Quote from textbook: “Only a few civilized tribes in Mexico and Peru wrote their history down on scrolls called codices, but not many of these scrolls remain.”

Error identified by committee: "Just because a society did not develop writing does not mean they did not have culture. This idea is rooted in racist assumptions about indigenous peoples being savage, uncivilized, and backward or behind Europeans."

Quote from textbook: "The heart of the Chicano movement revolved around creating a Mexican American community that resided within, but was untouched by, white American society.”

Error identified by committee: "The issue of separating from 'white American community', while some minor groups might have expressed such a sentiment, did not encompass the vast majority of Chicano Movement organizations."

Quote from textbook: “Chicanos, on the other hand, adopted a revolutionary narrative that opposed Western civilization and wanted to destroy this society."

Error identified by committee: While differences existed between Chicano and Mexican American organizations concerning political tactics and senses of identity, Chicano civil rights organizations did not oppose 'Western civilization and wanted to destroy this society.'

Quote from textbook: “Just like Europeans or Asians, there were racial similarities between Indians, but there were also countless differences

Error identified by committee: "What follows is an antiquated and essentialist concept of race as the division of human species based on differences in physical features defined by heredity. This view stems from 19th century ideas we now know as scientific racism, which has been disproved and discredited in anthropology and biology."

Quote from textbook: “While the majority of Indians throughout North and South America migrated continuously, some tribes chose to settle in Peru or an area in Mexico and Central America called Mesoamerica.”

Error identified by committee: "A majority of Native American societies were not nomadic."

Quote from textbook: "Between 1914 and 1918, Mexican workers who crossed the border legally received visas, or guest worker permits that allowed them to work for six months before they had to return to Mexico.”

Quote from textbook: “Ultimately, their Revolution resulted in a completely new form of government that looked to a new philosophy called socialism to solve the country’s political, economic, and social problems.”

Quote from textbook: “During 1826–1829, the Mexican navy was even led by U.S. Commodore David Porter.”

Great Hearts will reinstate San Antonio teacher who assigned 'positives' of slavery worksheet

Great Hearts Monte Vista will reinstate the teacher who assigned middle school students a worksheet which asked them to chart the "positives" and "negatives" of slavery.

In a letter sent to parents this week, Great Hearts Texas Superintendent Aaron Kindel said the teacher will return from the leave he or she was placed on and keep their position at the campus.

"After conducting a fair and thorough review we found that, while the assignment was certainly not consistent with Great Hearts philosophy, there was no harmful intent on the part of the teacher and the broader context of the treatment of slavery in the course left no ambiguity regarding its immorality," Kindel's letter reads. "As such, the teacher will be re-instated after training is completed."

The teacher was placed on leave following an outcry after an upset parent posted the worksheet on social media in April. Since then, people from U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro to Daily Show host Trevor Noah have chimed into the matter, condemning the assignment titled "The Life of Slaves: A Balanced View."

On the worksheet the parent shared, a student had written only "N/A" under the "positives" columb.

A school assignment shocked a mother of a fourth-grader at a Wauwatosa school.

Great Hearts said training will be implemented across the board, from employees to leadership, to ensure all campuses in the network "remain inclusive and welcoming to scholars from all backgrounds."

Additionally, Kindel told parents the American History textbook used in the class in question, "Prentice Hall Classics: A History of the United States," would be replaced.

Soon after the mySA.com's original report, Pearson, the company behind the textbook, issued a statement disavowing any connection to the controversial worksheet.

"The worksheet in question was not created by, endorsed, or encouraged in any way by Pearson," Director of Media Relations Scott Overland told mySA.com in an email. "We do not support this point of view and strongly condemn the implication that there was any positive aspect to slavery."

Kindel invited parents to contact his office directly with any questions.
